Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool have announced plans to launch an academy in India next year.
The Barclays Premier League club have partnered with Indian side DSK Shivajians to establish a permanent set-up for young players in Pune.
The LFC International Football Academy DSK, which will open in January, will be a purpose-built residential complex featuring full-size pitches, practice areas, classrooms, changing rooms, a gym, canteen, lecture theatre and medical facilities.
It will support players up to the age of 18 and coaches from Liverpool will work on the project.
Academy director Frank McParland told the club's website, liverpoolfc.com: "At the academy in Liverpool we aim to develop outstanding players and good human beings.
"The results speak for themselves, as last season seven academy players made their first-team debuts.
"Education and community work is key to the development of our young players and we look forward to taking our knowledge and experience of developing young footballers to India."
